..and it looks like advanced users will get the Syflex cloth simulator free with XSI. [http://www.softimage.com/home/Press/PressR...\_NAB\_syflex.htm](http://www.softimage.com/home/Press/PressR...%5C_NAB%5C_syflex.htm)

Free for only $5k more than "all you want" Essentials.
Funny how much you pay for "free" stuff.
Marketing: It would seem that the difference between "all you want" and "all there is" should be all the stuff you don't want or need.
Not a complaint just a sociological observation.

it is pretty funny.
Of course, syflex cloth alone is over $2,000.
If you look at it that way, $3,000 for the rest of the stuff is a pretty good deal.

Quick question about syflex.
I just downloaded XSI4 and before I undertake the install and licensing I was wondering how syflex is packaged. Is there a separate download for it which I neglected to find? Is it an install option with the XSI program download or is it completely integrated into XSI advanced?
Thanks.
Oh, EdHarriss, very nice overview of version 4. I enjoyed reading it.

Good God that was hard to find!!!
It installs with XSI but boy you would think they were hiding it.
